First they try to conquer you and if they don’t succeed then they hate you because of this.
That’s why, for example, Germans so much hate Russians and Americans so much hate Cubans.

And here you have it folks, hypocracy at its highest. laca to begin with how do you know I hate Cubans? How do you know I am not of Cuban descent?

We all know why you don't answer the question as to why if Cuba is such a paradise people are getting on rickety unsafe boats and crossing the straights through shark infested waters to get here. And people are so free why cant the just get on a plane to leave the country? We know why you do not want to adress that issue. It is because you frankly can't without exposing yourself as a hypocrit. So instead you take the only tactic left open to you, evade the issue and try to change the subject by attacking the person asking the embarrassing question, even though you know nothing about that person.

What is wrong with Americans?

What is wrong with Americans?
I mean have you tried talking to them? It's like talking to a gun-wielding psychopath with no sense and all they can think is violence (the proof will be in the responses to this thread post).

And why are the Canadians and Europiens ( Not Poms ) so much more friendlier, so much nicer? It makes no sense how two nations so geographically close can be so morally and personality distant.

It's a great shame, but I doubt it will be long before the USA is annihilated (just get on with it already!!)

In fact, has ANYBODY here ever been able to have a normal talk to an American? I haven't. Far too arrogant and self-righteous.

And always the same story, first they try to conquer and enslave you and if they don’t succeed (like in case of Cuba) they hate you because of that.
Very, very strange people?

On another note, when you're looking for an intelligent discussion on the street, do you walk up to a stranger, and ask him why he's such an asshole? Something tells me that you don't, which makes me wonder about your approach here. It seems to me that you're not actually interested in having your 'questions' answered, but are instead engaging in an impotent, passive-aggressive temper tantrum. Or, to put it more succinctly, you're trolling.

If you want to have a conversation with an American and engage in bilateral learning, then I (and many others) would be happy to oblige. If you're just here to spew bile, you'll tire of your game because people will simply ignore you.

Re: What is wrong with Americans?

Actually, something just occurred to me - this thread isn't a total waste. Let's all answer the question "what's wrong with Americans" in the same earnest spirit in which it was asked. I'll get the ball rolling:

Personally, as an American, I wake up every day and retrieve my gun from my nightstand. On the way to my car in my townhouse complex's parking lot, I shoot everyone I see (amazingly, I never seem to run out of neighbors). Once I get to work, rather than do any work, I log onto the internet and make fun of people from other countries. Also, since I'm a programmer, I generally hack into websites like Green Peace and figure out how to steal money from starving refugees. Once I get home in the evening, I usually write a daily email to President Bush with suggestions about which countries I would like to see invaded and the populace tortured. Then, before bed, I punch my girlfriend, fire my gun at the ceiling, and drift off to sweet dreams of butchering endangered species. Of course, I leave my car running during all of this to maximize oil usage and pollution.

That's one American's tale. Anyone else?

Re: What is wrong with Americans?

My family is split between America and Canada, but the generalization in Canada about Americans is that they are gun-totin', shoot first and ask questions later types with bad geography skills outside the U.S. who invoke Christ but who do not evoke Christ in their behavior. Personally, I believe on the whole that Canadians and Americans are much the same. Except in Canada we pour money into health care instead of the military, and we tend not to shoot unless we really must.

I think that religion is something that has caused Canada and America to split these last 6 years. We are very secular in Canada, with a segment of the population that belongs to an organised religion. America is secular too, although the culture these last few years has included religion in a way that has prevented common sense and intelligence to shine through. America has been all too proud to invoke Christ these last few years without backing it up with action to that effect. We have a religious right up here somewhere, but they don't have a hold on the culture like it currently has in America.

I love to party with Americans, although I find that American girls are much more naive and younger seeming than Canadian girls. That whole "GIRLS GONE WILD" thing....only in America!

I'd agree with you about the perception of America in Canada. Furthermore, this same stereotype is prevalent in many areas of the world. I ask you this: Is it because Americans are like this (gun toting, etc.) or is it because they have a misperception of what American's actually are like?

Your opinions are obviously based on very little experience with American’s your assumptions are inflammatory and your conclusions are insulting. Basically, very troll-like.

Re: What is wrong with Americans?

It's not as easy, in my opinion, for many Americans to "see" themselves in much the same way that the people of North Korea are unable to see themselves: they are insulated. It's surprising to say that about the most powerful country in the world, that they're insulated, but America is really closed in on itself in many ways. I think that happens when you are told repeatedly from birth that you live in the greatest nation on earth, told over and over again. The people of North Korea probably are grateful too, but when you're brainwashed how do know to compare?

I think the misperception we have of Americans is that they are all this way, but that's not true. However, it must be said that Americans are much like children in the way they defer power to their leaders in times of crises. After 9/11, they just sort of trusted their president and stopped asking questions and resumed shopping. The people of America aren't involved with the war on the whole, most Americans are simply reminded that the military is fighting in one far away.

Finally, I think Americans prefer might over intelligence. Hardly ever do they choose a smart guy to be president; it's usually the guy who comes off the most confident, even if he's wrong. After 9/11 and until about last year, America had become Tina Turner with Ike. Over the last year or so though, America is becoming the Tina Turner that turned the corner and dropped Ike. Hopefully America will continue that way; then we'll see what kind of songs she can sing.

I totaly agree.
Yeh a big question is how to be balanced in the hypocritical society that claims to be based on Christianity but at the same time glorifying extreme materialism . It is very difficult to make peace between personal high materialistic expectations and basic sense of morality.
